  • After we cleared into Colombia, the Gypsea Fleet went ashor to explore Bahía Solano and to fill up with fresh veggies. The small town of 7.000 inhabitants has a tranquil and friendly vibe and we sat for a while at the main plaza soaking up the local culture and chattimg away with the kids.
    Once we saw that our ancors are holding, we left Karl, Joana and Easy by themselves (with Maria's parents having an eye on them) and squeezed our four butts and three surfboards into a tuk tuk. The one hour drive to El Almejal was an adventure by itself...but check out this new episode to find out for yourself.
    As usual, we stumble upon a vibrant street celebration in the honor of the birth of Jesus Christ which the locals call Los Arullos. So many happy faces and dancing people around us, we could nkt help but join the celebration.
    Enjoy & Ahoy,
    Nike & Karl

    This is NOT a live documentary! There is a time difference between filming and publishing due to the time it takes to send data home, to edit the episodes and to internet not always being awailable on those little remote palm tree islands :).

    Love the video. I really like how you interact with the locals and sit down and talk with the kids. Most people just won't do that. You are a treasure. Keep smiling and sail on.

      That's one of the best parts of traveling, I find ☺. Sitting on a plaza (preferrably with a cold bevarage) and watching the daily life pass by and have a little chat with the locals - priceless.

    Cool little video. Colombia is unique with so little road access to the Pacific coast for such a large coastline. Odd topography. All the better for preserving these little enclaves.

    This episode is particularly awesome. 5 peeps, 3 surf boards and overnight gear in a Tuk tuk, who needs a Suberban or Escalade!? I love how you interact with the children in the square and join in the music making at night. I want to travel like this, see the real. You are an awesome ambassador. Thanks :)

    • @WhiteSpotPirates
      @WhiteSpotPirates  Před 5 lety +9

      Thank you for your kind words, Jamie. This episode does show a lot about the way I personally love to travel, so I am very happy that you noticed it. Sitting on a plaza for hours and just watching and chatting with the locals does give one a great insight into the culture of a place. I am lucky that I speak Spanish, so exploring the countries I visited so far and interacting with the people was "fairly easy" for me. Will need to depend more on hands and feets when I get to some places where I don't speak the local language...But that's part of the adventure, too, isn't it?

    Once again, thanks for your video

    There is more to recycling than just a recycling bin.
    In order to do recycling you need different industrial processing plants, to do all the different types of recycling.
    Or you can have different recycling bins to keep the tourists happy and then when you empty them just throw it all together with all the other waste.

    • @WhiteSpotPirates
      @WhiteSpotPirates  Před 5 lety

      Hey Andrew, that's a good question. I think that mostly the places wil, be kept clean when there is some kind of tourism going on in the are. I was haply to see some bars in Ecuador that offered free cocktails for a bag of collected trash. In general, we saw more "trash fighting" in colombia and ecuador than in Panama....but no idea why that is the case...awareness, culture...to be found out 😌 And yes, i do have a patreon account u can find it at www.patreon.com/whitespotpirates. Thank you 😁
